Pros

Everyone seems a bit TOO happy. They do this to boost morale so that you get excited about going to Walmart in your expensive suit to sell DirecTv to the public all day.

Cons

Where do I start? They promise pay for the training period which is about a week, but if you make no sales, you don't get a check. So basically the 1st week is on you. You're at their office for free. I was hired along with everyone else in my group (around 6 people), this should've been a big RED flag for me! I gave them a chance just to find out you have to dress up in a suit or dress every day to sell DirecTv at a Walmart all day, every day. You're there selling DirecTv around 8-10 hours every day. And you're taught basically to scam customers. Tell them they're getting this great deal with so many channels of DirecTv for so little money (when it's really for the customers first 3 months of service, but they advise you not to mention that). The public can obviously see through this so you deal with bad attitudes from them. This company hates it when a former employee says they never received a check, which is why they respond very defensively to reviews. This is Glassdoor. I am ALLOWED to post my review on here!!! Just go to any website and see for yourself that this "company" is always hiring. That's because people leave when they find out it's a scam. Visit their website too. It's very shady. Unfortunately, scams like this are growing and the public needs to be aware. There is another one of these scams in the Northwest called Renaissance Consulting. Same garbage with a different name.

Jonathan Wesley Response

Thank you for your response. We are sorry you had such a bad experience in your week that you were employed here. We will look into your complaints and try to learn from them. One strategy is to have our candidates "shadow" an employee for 20 minutes inside the store during the interview response so they have very clear expectations about what a typical day might look like on this campaign. It is true that one of the programs we work on is ATT/DTV inside Retail stores. There is a lot of rejection and this position is not for everybody. If you were not compensated correctly please call our office and show us what you were paid and the corresponding time sheet for what weekending and we would be happy to rectify any issue. Our IT team will consider your comments about "shady website." We have no affiliation with the other company mentioned. Lastly many large corporations use 3rd party labor or outsource for speed to market and to create market-share. We hope you found a fulfilling career.
